Stanley J. O'Connor's concern and interest in making the art and cultures of Southeast Asia come alive to students in his classes... has clearly worked. His legacy is displayed in these essays.(Asian Perspectives) This collection provides a broad understanding of the topics that fascinate O'Connor: geographically, from Burma to the east coast of Malaysia, and historically, from prehistoric to contemporary painting. Despite this breadth, it displays a unity of approach that I would summarize as follows: art and its practice are the expression of human relations.(Archipel)
